"...this young North East band have earned a reputation as one of the most entertaining live acts and unlike a lot of other entertaining bands, they actually have good songs as well..."
BBC Live Review
"I wasn't there to see Zapped By A Million Volts, but it was them who stole the show, a quartet with plenty of punch in the garage rock stakes...and are definately a band I would recommend."
Drowned In Sound Live Review
"...bright and brittle (and crystal clear) guitars to the fore.....their sound in between the surf-rock mayhem of Man or Astroman, the No-Wave stop-start of Ex-Models and the melodic Punk of The Buzzcocks"
Artrocker
"...the Teesside trio's as full of frustrated youth and dreams of stardom as Jonny Borrell... Juddering Buzzcocks guitars and a desperation to get to the chorus as soon as possible... Shockingly good? Absolutely"
John Earls, Planet Sound, Channel 4 Teletext
"....buzz along at a pretty brisk pace themselves, again getting their kicks from sharp corners and spikey guitar licks...."

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
UNWED SAILOR is helmed by Oklahoma-born songwriter Johnathon Ford. The basis for the instrumental project came into being while Ford was still writing with Seattle luminaries Roadside Monument. Pulling towards a bass guitar-oriented sound, the songs he had begun to craft did not fully feel right for Roadside Monument, thus the unbeknownst predestined forming of Unwed Sailor. Not aiming for Unwed Sailor to fall into the regular confines of a typical band, Ford’s ever evolving cast and crew has been tirelessly composed over the years of good friends and company. Throughout the past decade, Unwed Sailor has shared the stage with the likes of Pedro the Lion, Mary Timony, Low, The Danielson Famile, Sufjan Stevens, Early Day Miners, Minus the Bear, The Advantage, The Starlight Mints, Battles, Mates of State, and Beach House(just to name a few…). The band has since been relocated and based out of cities across the United States, including Chicago, Seattle, Washington D.C., Jackson MS, Little Rock, AR, and most recently Lawrence, KS. With numerous tours in the U.S. and Europe, the band has traveled almost as much as it has evolved.
